You won't be disappointed!

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's 2016 now but it is important to tell you guys : this movie is an awful movie!! I've watched lots of live-action movies but this is unacceptable!! First , about the whole movie. It was so fast. I know , it is hard to turn an anime with 40 episodes to a movie about 2 hours but I blame it on the director. Everything went to fast. André confessed to Oscar too soon , Rosalie cannot suddenly appear and say: You kill my mother,... Secondly, about the characters. Oscar is a strong woman but the Oscar that I saw in this movie isn't strong enough to be Oscar. She seems to be like a random girl from lots of movies. And André was such a failure!! I was so surprised when I saw him.His character has turned to be a douchebag. It is okay if this is a random movie. But it's a live-action so all the changes in this movie is unacceptable because it went too far from the manga/anime!! I hope you guys will not see this movie when you've already watched the anime

I love the Rose of Versailles (Lady Oscar in West) original comics and was a pleasure to watch this movie. However it's necessary to say it's just for fans. When you previously know the characters and want to get in touch with an alternative point of view, it's OK, but if you take Lady Oscar as a movie about the French Revolution's or a cross dresser heroine, you probably would feel disappointed. The work was not as good as it would be; some actors and actresses were not well chosen; main events were forgotten; and Oscar's personal drama lost force. But as I said, I liked it a little, because any Lady Oscar's product would attract me.

Lost ,nobody will deny,is it a sleeper, a great forgotten work?I have my doubts."Lady Oscar",a Japanese production, was never commercially released in Demy's native France.It's a movie so hard to see I had to wait twenty-four years.Was it worth the wait?Partly,but only partly.It's hard to recognize Demy's touch is these historical adventures.The action takes place in the years before the French revolution and I really wonder why Demy used English actors to play Marie-Antoinette,Madame de Polignac,Louis the Sixteenth et al.The historical facts do not rise above the historical clichés:the hamlet of the Queen,the necklace case,her affair with Axel Fersen.Sacha Guitry did much better with his "si Versailles m'était conté";humor is definitely lacking here.The characters of fiction are essentially walk ons ,mainly in the first half.Then Lady Oscar begins to hit her stride,with feminist accents dear to Agnès Varda (Demy's wife and producer).But the end is disappointing as if Demy had planned a sequel(there was a Japanese cartoon,featuring the Lady Oscar -the woman raised and dressed as a boy-,some years after but targeted at the children's market).So what makes this movie worthwhile though?The dazzling costumes,Demy's refined style,all the wonderful ball scenes.The form is a feast for the eye and almost entirely overshadows the content.Lambert Wilson,who was to become a famous actor in the eighties and nineties has a cameo :he's the insolent soldier.That said,the great lost Demy movie is not "Lady Oscar" but his stunning "pied piper" (1972)

I've seen this film as an anime one and it was great but the movie film is the best I've ever seen about the French Revolution!It includes brave,love....and Christina Böhm act the Marie Antoinette fantastic!!!
